Hassan Rouhani

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appealed to the international community, especially Russia and China, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, calling North Korea a case study of the failure to prevent rogue states from obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

U.S.-Russian relations are at a low point, but Tillerson recalled the cooperation between Washington and Moscow during the Soviet era, despite their Cold War rivalry, on measures to stop the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation. And he said "we should do so again."
